  • Today we discuss the sad history of the American watch industry as I restore a Waltham from the 1960s with a Caliber UT33 from the universal time corp.

    My great grandfather was a Swiss watchmaker. When he came to America, he went to work for Waltham Watch Co. I have a box (3 generations) of misc Waltham watch parts that has been handed down and the history written on the box to include springs, screws etc. now I’ll have to go back and inventory. I’ll send pics.

    Well done Joe.. this one looks a bit like my Dad's Omega that he gave me before he passed.. God bless you and the family.

    I have a Waltham pocketwatch that belonged to my great grandfather, the serial number dates back to 1863. I love that watch.

    Your brother's music is beautiful and adds a lot. How fortunate you are.

    I am always impressed with the level of detail Nekkid puts into each and every repair and restoration he does. I am also taken by his comments and speeches; something that I do not get with other watch repair and restoration channels. For me, this is my only go-to watch channel, and it is also one that I wait patiently to see new videos; I can't wait to see the next project here.

    I am glad that you mentioned "right to repair" on your channel.

    i think these are some of the best affordable vintage watches you can buy. I was looking for a mechanical watch and stumbeled across a waltham from the 70's, it's great, only payed 120 € for it

    Wow, this takes me back. Grew up a few blocks from the Elgin National Watch factory and after high school worked for a while as a decaser at a Waltham repair facility in Elgin too.

    I live in Northampton Massachusetts and have always desired to own a Waltham Watch. I actually have an old American Wadsworth wrist watch from the 1940s that I would love to have cleaned and serviced with the original radium Lume entirely removed professionally. It has an Elgin movement. I would pay exactly what you require to have that done.

    What a beautiful story told with sheer emotion and perfection. One of the best UA-cam channel I've ever come across.

    Your Waltham watch repair triggered a long forgotten memory. When I was a young teenager, my Dad came home
